Force Machine
6070
BETTER KNOWN TO FIREFIGHTERS AS “THE KEISER”
The Keiser Force Machine was originally designed for the Firefighter Combat Challenge® to simulate the chopping motion used in firefighting. It employs the same kinetics and ergonomics as those used with an axe, with the benefit of a safer and resource-free training and conditioning exercise. It is an efficient and durable means of training and testing emergency services personnel who use axes and sledgehammers in their occupations.
- Biomechanically correct design
- Polyethylene glides on bottom of I-beam for consistent running service
- Used in the annual Firefighter Combat Challenge
- Certified and endorsed by On-Target
- To use the Force Machine, an individual stands on the footwalks, straddling the I-beam then strikes the I-beam using the specifically designed 9 lb dead-blow sledgehammer
- It takes an average of twenty to twenty-five strikes to move the I-beam 5 feet (1.5m) a level of effort consistent with many forcible entry situations
- The movement accurately reflects structural firefighting tasks
For firefighters, CrossFitters, and all athletes chasing raw power. Meet the Keiser Force machine.
